ADVANCE GUARD DEPARTMENT (OR, EIGHTEEN HAPPENINGS ALONG FOURTH A VENUE) [Communication from the Reuben Gallery] 18 HAPPENINGS IN 6 PARTS By ALLAN KAPROW OCTOBER 4, 6, 7, 8. 9. 10 8:30 PM THE REUBEN GALLERY 61 FOURTH AVE, r\.Y.C ADMISSION BY ADVANCE RESERVATION There are three rooms for this work, each different in size and feeling. The rooms are nearly transparent. No matter where a person is, he is aware of something happening in another room. One room has red and white lights in rows along its top, like a used car lot at night. The other has blue and white lights. The third has a blue globe hanging in its center. There are two large wall collages, some colored Christmas bulbs seen from behind a wall and two rows of spot lights. Purple scrolls are dropped at a certain time. Five long- ish mirrors are placed around. These are looked into also at a certain time. Chairs- perhaps seventy-five to one hundred-are arranged throughout where guests are to be seated. The guests will change seats ac- cording to numbered cards. Each guest will sit once in a different room. Some guests will also act Slides will be shown. Tape recorded sounds, produced electronically, will come from four loudspeakers. From these there will be heard as well a collage of voices. There will be live sounds pro- duced. Words will be spoken. Human actions will occur of different but simple kinds. In addition there will be non-human actors. The} will be a dancing toy and two constru tions on wheels. The same action will never happen twice. The actions will mean nothing clearly formulable so far as the artist is concerned. It is in- tended, however, that the whole work is to be intimate, austere, and of somewhat brief duration. These eighteen happenings will take place on October 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 at 8:30 PM. We who sympathize with the artist's freedom of expression, who enjoy the experience inherent in advanced ideas, who affirm the artist's right-nay, obligation-to present his vision to the world unfettered have an especial obliga- tion to tender moral and financial sup- port to the avant garde. Although sus- tained to date by current contributions, the event will suffer a large deficit unless it is promptly and generously supported by-you. Only the artist's confidence in your support has made this event possible. Send your contribution-$2-$5-$100- immediately: it's needed. (No contribution will be solicited at the performance.) Admission by advance reservation only.

Nationality, British appearance, American ... name, RODE X You can usually spot a foreign visitor by his clothes Clothes have a way of taking on nationality. Yet when an American appears on Park A venue or Boul Mich or Sun- set Boulevard in a Rodex coat, no one recognizes it is British in origin. Its style is American as he is. Under that natural American look, you'll find countless tell-tale signs of British standards of workmanship. Even where you can't see it (but where perhaps it counts the most) is the painstakingly small stitching, the hand-felling, the meticulous finishing that says "It's British. . . it's Rodex." Each coat about $110 at better stores everywhere. VI. O. Peake, Ltd., 452 Fifth Ave., New York · London
